Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My hands starts to hurt- from my neck all the way to may palms... it s painful and very uncomfortable. I am trying to learn how to bake... I m thinking it s because of the hand mixer. My friends say it s because the air from the Air Conditioning system of my car blows directly to arm. I don t how what I have. Please help. -DM
A thorough neuromuscular clinical assessment is advised along with MRI of cervical spine.
As the pain travels from neck to the palms, this is more of a neuropathic pain, occurs due to pinching of nerves. After a thorough clinical neuromuscular assessment, an MRI will be suggested to check the level of nerve pinching. Post which, with simple physical therapy like, Therapeutic ultrasound therapy and TENS therapy the pain will subside. Post which you may need exercises to strengthen the muscles of the neck and also the upper limb as whole for future safety.
Usually, in my clinical practice, majority of patients respond well to physical therapy.
